Shiba Inu’s deflationary momentum intensified over the past 24 hours, with 6.75 million tokens sent to dead wallets. This action pushed the daily burn rate up by 140% compared to the previous day, highlighting the community’s continued commitment to reducing SHIB’s circulating supply.

Burn milestone and supply reduction

Since its launch, Shiba Inu has permanently destroyed 410,840,395,512,922 tokens by sending them to unusable null addresses. This ongoing strategy has resulted in 41.08% of SHIB’s original 1 quadrillion token supply being removed from circulation. Currently, 58.92% of the initial supply remains, demonstrating the significant impact of these regular token burns.

The pace of SHIB burns remains consistent, with over 21,000 cumulative burn transactions now recorded. Data shows that these collective efforts, carried out by members of the Shiba Inu community, have reached 21,193 individual transactions, reflecting an ongoing reduction in supply through a decentralized mechanism.

Short-term burn statistics and price movements

In the last seven days, the SHIB community removed 43.75 million tokens from circulation, while the thirty-day tally stands at 267.58 million tokens. Despite these supply reductions, the price performance has shown modest fluctuations. Over the latest 24-hour period, SHIB edged up by 0.96% to $0.00000417, though it still trades 4.87% lower on the weekly timeframe.

Macro factors and regulatory developments

Shiba Inu’s recent price movement followed mixed signals from wider economic data. The latest US producer and consumer price index readings came in softer than expected, while jobless claims for the week ending July 11 totaled 208,000, lower than forecasted figures. The University of Michigan’s latest consumer sentiment index rose to 54.4, surpassing the Dow Jones consensus forecast of 50.5.

Japan implemented major amendments to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA) on July 15, 2026. The updated legislation distinguishes cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum from securities and instead classifies them as investment products.

The revisions seek to strengthen investor protection while enhancing engagement from banks, securities firms, asset managers, and institutional investors in Japan’s crypto market.

Shiba Inu is already included on the Japan JVCEA Green List, a status that simplifies listing on regulated domestic platforms. With this regulatory update, SHIB could see improved access and visibility in Japan’s evolving digital asset landscape.
